Zappos employees ham it up during our Mother's Day Picks photoshoot.

Mom definitely deserves more than just one day out of the year in her honor; all those sleepless nights, all the lunches she’s packed for us over the years, and the countless rides to soccer games and the mall—we think she’s better than any superhero!

However, since there’s only one designated Mother’s Day, it’s your chance to really make it count. Show her your appreciation with thoughtful gifts she won’t have to fake enthusiasm for!

We asked this week’s Zappos employee “models” about their own moms (and wife) and their gift picks for her. To get a real mom’s perspective, we also threw in Sunshine who is a mom of two.

Cheers to all you moms out there! We love you!

Weekly Trend: Music Festival Style

From the star-studded Coachella in the Indio Valley, to Lollapalooza in Chicago, this spring and summer offers a huge variety of music festivals! Whether you’re going to a small local outdoor fest or a massive three-day long event, your outfits are just as important as scoring tickets in time.

7 for all mankind, denim, weekly trend, music festival style, MiH Jeans, denim shorts, music festival outfits, coachella, lollapalooza,wonen's outfits,men's outfits,

Opt for breathable fabrics, flat shoes or sandals and layering to stay comfy as you dance the day away to some great music. Denim is always a great go-to option for music fests, whether you opt for denim shorts, boyfriend jeans or classic bootcuts.

We particurlarly love boho-inspired looks  for music festivals--think crochet, fringe, maxi dresses, denim vests and cut off shorts.

We also suggest a nice crossbody bag for the ladies to keep both hands free for drinks, food and your camera!

Check out more musical festival outfits for men and women on our Shop By page!

5. Betsey Johnson BJ 216: A pop of animal print gives these sunglasses an edgy feel.
